I'm looking to lower my '98 Civic Si G.. What is better lowering springs or Coil Over kit? I've been looking at the OBX Coilover kit and for lowering springs the Eibach Sport Line, Progress, and H and R.. I'm looking for a comfy ride.. no jumping out of your seat when you go over those 401 and gardiner bumps..I'd rather not go to low so I can outhandle most expensive sports cars..

SiR Power

Go for the H&R Sport

I am not an expert on this topic, but if you change spring, you should also change your shocks at the same time. I believe there are a lot of combinations. Just go back to page 2 or 3 or even 5 and you are bound to find a couple thread where people asking what spring to get and etc...

diesel

depends on your budget if you want it good, TEINS!
but cheaper combo would be like Koni or KYB and H&R or Eibach springs kidna thing

I have H&R Sports with Koni Red shocks. Ride is good, not harsh and bouncy. Great combo imo. I can provide a pic of the drop if you want.

Nova_Dust

Diesel, I have been looking into TEIN basic damper kit. But then again, I might just stick with non-adjustable ones... or not fiddle with it at all.

How about the TOKICO set?

Koni Sport and Eibach together can't be beat for overall comfort and performance. If you can stand a slightly harsher ride, then H&R springs can be substituted... if you are on a tighter budget, then KYB AGX or Koni Red can be substituted for the shocks.... Progress springs are also excellent.

IT IS WORKING NOW.

If you want a nice comfy suspension, stay with your stock OEM set up.

Someone from the meet last night mentioned GIC shocks saying it is the best on the market now. Of course, will cost a lot of money.

imported_JookSingKid

its JIC

JIC Majic is more shock than most of us would know what to do with. After these H&R ones I'm either going back to spring and shock or going to Ohlins/Fightex/JIC...

Try and stay with what you'll actually use.

Nova_Dust

I don't think my car will need that type of suspension. Something better then stock that also lowers and gives a better handling is all I am after.

with coil sleeves? will the bouncyness stop when u upgrade shocks to koni reds or agx? or illuminas?

bbarbulo

What spring rate? What sleeves? Yes, it will remove a lot of the bounciness, so much so that you'll prolly notice it a lot less, but your ride will likely not be optimal still... harshness will still be there.

Nova_Dust

I want a stiff ride, but not the kind from a set of blown shocks type of stiffness.

I sat in a blown shocks car in the back seat and my back was killing me after the ride. WAY TOO BOUNCY...

Progress and Koni or KYB AGX for you Nova_Dust

Nova_Dust

What is Progress? Is that a type of spring or a brand name? Cause Spoon has a spring call Progress, too

Progress is an american co... good price on springs, very nice soft rates, but still stiffer than eibach... they have extensive experience in racing, they have a land speed record Civic, and also several autocrosser civics, and a few road racing cars. I like their stuff - optauto has them at a great price

Nova_Dust

I see, I suppose I can buy Progress spring and Koni shocks from them again eh? But which section am I looking for? Sport springs or Racing springs?

Do I need other stuff or they are just direct bolt on?
